µAudio Plugin README:

Installation:

The most basic installation simply requires that you upload the 'microaudio' folder to your /wp-content/plugins directory. Then, from the Administration -> Plugins menu, simply activate the plugin. Done.

Options can be configured in 'Settings > µAudio', although in most installations, no configuration is neccessary.

If you are updating from a previous version of µAudio, you no longer need to call prepare_player() from k2.rollingarchives.js. You should either remove the call to prepare_player, or upgrade to a newer k2, restoring the file to the default.

Notes:

µAudio uses the super slim mp3 player from 1 Pixel Out. This nifty little player clocks in at just 5 KB, smaller than many JavaScripts. Indeed, the total change to your pages (when no player is loaded) is a mere 450 Bytes! Even with a player loaded the entire system is under 6 KB. If bandwidth is expensive (and let's be honest, when isn't it?) µAudio is about the smallest you can get and still run.

Currently uses jQuery 1.3, the most recent version as of the release date. Any jQuery 1.3 should work. jQuery pre 1.3 will not work. To that end, jQuery is running in agressive no conflict mode and does not expose the global jQuery or $ objects. To use µAudio's version of jQuery elsewhere add `var jQuery = mAjQ; to the top of your code. In the event that you already load jQuery 1.3+, then you can uncheck the jQuery checkbox in 'Settings > µAudio'. In this case you will need to add var mAjQ = jQuery to the top of microAudio.js.php.

The autoconfig feature may cause a slowdown in some older browsers, particularly IE 5

If you absolutely must manuallly edit the colors, checkout microAudio.example.css and add classes to your style.css as appropriate (and yes, I know that sample colors are really hideous, but it does make it easy to see which part is which).

To change the player width, edit the .mAp, .adplr block, also included in microAudio.example.css

Known Issues:

Some instability in the sidebar widget. The widget is being rewritten from scratch for 0.7, if you want to get it earlier, visit http://compu.terlicio.us/about-contact/ and send a request for a development version.
